THE HOT SEASON.
BY O. W. UOLMES.
The folks that on $he first of May,
Wore winter-coats and hose,
)3egan to say, Uie first of June,
"Good liord! how hot it grows!"
At last two Fahrenheit blew up, ,
. And killed two children small,
And one barometer shot dpad
A tutor with its ball!
Now all day long the locusts sung
Among the leafless trees:
Three new hotels warped inside out,
And pumps could only wheeze ;
And ripe old wine, that twenty years
Hud cubwebbod o'er in vain.
Came spouting through the rotten corks,
Like Jelly's best Champagne!
The Worcester locomotives did
Their trip in half an hour;
The Lowell cars ran forty miles
Before they ehecked jhiir power;
loll brimstone soon became a drug,
And friction mutches fell;
All asked for ice, but. everywhere
Saltpetre is lo sell.
Plump men of mornings ordei ed tights,
Hut ere the seoielii.ig noons,
Their candle-moulds had grown, as loose
As Cossack pantaloons!
The dogs ran mad men could not try
If water-they w ould choose;
Ahorse fell dead, he only left
Fou,r' red-hot rusty shoes!
But soon the people could not b,ear
The slightest hint of lire:
Allusions to caloric drew
. A Hood of savage ire;
The leaves on he it were all torn out
From every book at school,
And many blackguards kicked and caned,
Because they said "Keep cool!"
'fhe gas light companies were; mobbed,
The bakers all were shot,
'The penny press began to talk
Of lyuchying Doctor Nott;
And all about the warehouse steps
Were angry men in droves,
Crashing and splintering through the doors
To smash the patent stoves!
